“Garden of Allah”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox and her
husband have been spending
some time at Biskra that strange
town that Robert Hitchens made
famous by his “Garden of Al-
lah” Possibly no writer has
succeeded better in emveying
the atmosphere of a locality than
Hitchens has of this queer s'eepy
town in Africa which contains
about eight thousand Arabs and j
four hundred French In pro- j
portion it has many more natives
than Algiers and therein lies its
charm The natives are Arabs
Kabyles and Nomads or tent
dwellers who lead an easy life 1
living on cous cous and dried
dates As the sun shines ail the (
year they have little need to
work and the word worry is not
in their vocabulary
The better class of Arabs are
fine looking and aristocratic but
rich or poor they are bright and !
interesting and possess ccult
powers to a marked degree In
many cases the lower types seem
mind readers The most inter-
esting diversion for the foreign-
ers since the “Garden of Allah”
made the place famous is to walk
through the long and narrow na-
tive villages about half a mile
from the fashionable hotel which!
the tourist frequent In fact!
after a few' drives there is little
for foreigners to do but lounge
visit the beauful public gardens j
and let natives guides and chib
dren amuse them !
At night the tourists walk
around the streets which are!
filled with Arab men and dancing j
girls of the nei boring tribe of i
Outed-Nail who come here for
the season These girls live in
twfo streets and have a hospital
devoted to their exclusive use
If sick or injured they are oblig-
ed to go here where they receive
the best of care
Since Biskra has become cele-
brated it has as a rule been fill-
ed with tourists but the season
this year has been poor both at
the Riviera and in Egypt Even
Algiers has felt it and the wreck
of the Balearic Islands about fin-
ished it for the disaster occurred
to a boat that was frequented by
tourists-Pittsburg Dispatch
Grazer vs Farmer
Daniel Rankin the most ex-
tensive farmer of America with
30000 acres in a state of high
cultivation in the most fertile
regions of those two magnificent
agricultural states Iowa and M is-
souri and whose corn crop alone
is 1250000 bushels annually de-
clares that this country will 6ee
no more cheap beef or pork
It is said that Farmer Rankin
increase the fertility of his soil
every year and that is what
makes the successful farmer
Hii idea is that cheap beef and
pork cannot be produced on high-
priced lands
There are others perhaps less
pecuniarily interested than Mr
Rankiu who hold that rich lands
make cheap cattle and swine
And they do if the farmer knows
his business as Mr Rankin cer-
tainly does
Among the multiplicity of rea-
sons advanced for the high price
of beef is the declaration that
the ranch is transformed into the

If located at OKLAHOMA CITY the sale of land which
the State is to purchase will provide a building fund of at
least $3000000 in excess of the eost of the land The
great packers Morris ft Co have proven this assertion
Such a project would not realise one-fourth of that sum
at Guthrie or Shawnee
WHY?

farm That ought to cheapen
the cost of beef
Take a ranch 10 miles square
64 OOOi acres Perhaps 25000 cat-
tle can be grazed on that terri-
tory It will make 4000 farms
of 160 acres each and if the far-
mers occupying them know any-
thing about successful farming
each one will sell oil his place
25 bullocks annually of 1600
pounds per head fit for the
butcher
That would be 100000 beeves
against the 25000 when the 100
square miles was a ranch and
they will be better beeves in
every particular heavier and
fatter and they ought to be
cheaper
Nor is that all each bullock
would contribute materially to
the fertility of the soil
It is nonsense to say that to
turn a grazing ranee into a fer-
tile farm will in any legitimate
way ae vance the price of beef —

When the cow seems greedy
for dirt or paint or wants to gnaw
old bones it is fair to assume
that there is lacking from her
ration some element which she
ought to have and this is quite
likely to be bone forming mat-
ter The difficulty may be right-
ed by feeding wheat bran or
giving bonemeal in the ground
feed occasionally and seeing that
the cow has plenty of salt

Use of Experi-
ment Stations
The excellent state experiment
stations scattered over the coun-
try and maintained by taxes
which come out of the pockets of
every property owner are doing
a most valuable work along the
several lines to which they ar&
giving attention but their use-
fulness could be measurably in-
creased would agriculturists and
horticulturists refer to the ex-
perts in charge oftencr than they
do matters on which informal
tion would be valuable For in-
stance most ail of the experi-
ment stations will test and report
on the impurities contained in
grass seed will test 6tock foods
the vitality of corn and other
seeds will identify the fungous
and insect enemies of fruit trees
as well as noxious weeds and give
brief methods of eradication and
answer dozens of other questions
that arise in everyday farm man-
agement Experiment stations
are established for the use of the
public and the more frequent
the demands made upon them
for information and assistance
